The Great DS Lite hunt

Lennie08

I am desperate for a red ds lite for my eldest son - got badly let down by Tesco last week who were supposed to deliver last saturday and when i rang them to see where it was they just said it must have gone out of stock after i ordered it, needless to say i had to make a few comments about customer service and their distinct lack of it!!! Anybody seen any in stock anywhere, argos have none, john lewis, game etc? Any tips greatly appreciated

Game in Stevenage had a sign up saying they had Red ones in stock yesterday. I assume that they will have stock in other stores too, might be worth a try. Not sure how much they were.

I am sure I saw an advert on the TV today about Nintendo DS Lite Games, "Buy one get one free."...... at Game.co.uk I have looked but cannot find anything, perhaps I got the name wrong. Can anyone help please?

My brother told me last night that Game were doing a BOGOF on nintendo ds lite games. I have purchased my games for my kids this year so have not looked but he usually is correct - hope this helps

Do you have a local blockbuster I work for them and in my store we have literally a handful of ds consoles left so worth a call maybe?

A few years ago same thing happened to me with a toy I ordered for granddaughter. I phoned after a few weeks when it hadn't arrived and they said stock would be in that week, waited another couple of weeks and phoned again. They said they couldn't get any stock and when I asked why they hadnt let me know they said it wasn't company policy as it would cost too much!!!

Our local WHSmith had some DS Lites in today, we asked at about 3.00pm this afternoon and were offered a choice of colours, including red, all were in packs with a game. The only console on it's own they had were pink ones.

Our local Woolworths had a few Silver Guitar Heros ones left and a couple of the pale blue ones left.

We got a Guitar Hero one, with the game etc for £112.50 from Woolies. very pleased with it as our son has beed asking for a silver DS for ages.

Good luck in your hunt. I sat down with the phone book and just rang up several of our local stores quite a few of them seemed to have some DS's left.

I posted this on another thread. The Tesco price is now reduced because of the VAT reduction.

A good deal for a DS Lite is at Tesco (instore only).

For £96.97, you get a console and choose 1 game from this selection of 8.

Nintendogs
Cooking Guide, can't decide what to eat
Lego Indiana Jones
Spore Creatures
High School Musical
Star Wars Force
Mario and Sonic at the Olympics
(don't know which is no 8)

The consoles are hard to come by, but you might get lucky.

If they say the offer isn't on, just ask them to put them through the checkout. The offer does work as I have done it, (much to the surprise of the sales assistant).


Edit.
This offer is on until Christmas Eve.

Mario Kart is included in the offer.
